Carlos Ortiz has come perilously close to shooting a 59 but had to settle for a magnificent 60 in the opening round of the LIV Golf Hong Kong tournament as Australia's early challenge was headed by Marc Leishman and Lucas Herbert.
Leishman and Herbert shot four-under 66s on Thursday's opening day but like everyone else, were left in the shade by Mexico's brilliant Ortiz, who recorded nine birdies and an eagle in an astonishing round that finished with a breathtaking flourish.
